BIBBS For Sun-Times Media David Berry signed up at age 17 to defend his country as a sailor in the U.S. Navy At age 18, he finally was able to enter the service, leaving behind his home in Baton Rouge, La., on Oct. 10 to start his boot camp training as a police officer at Great Lakes Naval Station. "I joined the Navy to travel and experience a new life7and also for college' the 18-year- old recruit said. Though he's spent other Thanksgiving days away from his mother with his grand- parents in Florida, this is the first for which he isn't with any family. Berry is one of about 40 recruits from the naval station who took time out from the rigorous training of boot camp to relax at the seventh annual Thanksgiving celebration Thursday at the Morton Grove American Legion Memorial Civil Center. For many of the recruits, it was their first time away from family on a major holiday. The event included a traditional Thanks- giving meal with turkey and the trimming, entertainment and recreation, including playing video games. Berry who had spoken with his mother Linette Williams earlier in the day,said the of Elizabeth, day away from the naval station was a wel- Leah Sbigoli serves recruitsfromthe Naval Station Great Lakes, Kyle Woodard of Foley, Ala., left, Fabian Arias from Jersey Cuy, N.J. and Ercilio Polanco, come relief.

The event started with "The Star Span- gled Banner" and a welcome from American Legion member Casey Bachara, who chaired the event. He brought the event to Morton Grove's American Legion chapter when he transferred there from his previous chapter. "You're here because of the uniform," he told the recruits. "Be proud of that uniform because we're proud of you' Ray Ariaz, senior vice commander of the American Legion post, led the recruits in a sing-along of patriotic songs, including "God Bless America," "This Land is Your Land" and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands."

  • A Comparison of Some Existing Radios with Implications for Public Safety Interoperability
    Chameleonic Radio Technical Memo No. 4 A Comparison of Some Existing Radios with Implications for Public Safety Interoperability S.W. Ellingson June 1, 2006 Bradley Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University Blacksburg, VA 24061 Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Methodology 1 3 Findings 2 4 Concluding Remarks 3 A Summary of Radio Speci¯cations 5 B Brochures 7 ii 1 Introduction Presently, public safety communications infrastructure in the U.S. consists of a dis- parate collection of radio technologies operating over a wide range of frequencies and using a variety of incompatible protocols [1]. This situation impairs interoperability between public safety agencies, which is particularly apparent during periods of crisis. One possible approach to mitigating this di±culty is to employ mobile radios that are capable of operating over multiple frequency bands and protocols (modes), as opposed to being limited to one frequency range and one protocol [2]. However, this problem is not unique to the public safety community. A simi- lar problem has arisen in military radio communications, which has led to the de- velopment of military radios with multiband/multimode capabilities [3]. Also, for somewhat di®erent reasons, multiband/multimode mobile radios are prevalent in the amateur radio community. Therefore, there may be something to be learned by com- paring the characteristics of these existing multiband/multimode radios to existing public safety mobile radios. This report is a ¯rst attempt. 2 Methodology The summary of this brief, informal study is reported in the form of a table in Ap- pendix A. Ten radios were selected, including 6 from the public safety market, 3 from the military market, and 1 from the amateur radio market.

  • KY-58 (Vinson)
    KY-58 (Vinson) The KY-57/58 is a member of the VINSON family. The VINSON family consists of wideband secure voice (WBSV) units developed by the National Security Agency to provide line of sight half-duplex voice and data encryption at 16 Kbps. The KY-57/58 provides security for AM/FM, VHF, UHF, half-duplex PTT combat net radios and tactical wireline systems when used with the HYX-57. Also used by non-tactical users for high-level communications in the local wideband telephone networks and wideband satellite terminals. The KY-57 is the manpack/vehicular model and the KY-58 is the airborne/shipborne version. The KY-57/58 is certified to pass data up to TOP SECRET and accepts key from the family of Common Fill Devices and also incorporates remote keying. KY-57/58 production was completed in 1993. No further production is planned. KY-58 photo by Tim Tyler Tim Tyler comments."The photo above depicts the KY-58 unit inside a USCG HH-65C 'Dolphin' helicopter taken in September 2008. It is currently configured just for use on their 225-400MHz aircraft band radio. Supposedly, they're in the process of upgrading the HH-65 helos into an MH-65 (Special Ops capable) configuration which will have APCO P-25 compliant radios (with AES crypto, for talking to other DHS agencies) as well as ANDVT / KY-100 type crypto for communicating with the military-side of USCG ops". The photo above depicts a KY-58 RCU installation in an A-10 attack aircraft.

  • AN/PRC-117F(C) Multiband Multimission Radio Applications
    assuredcommunications ® AN/PRC-117F(C) MULTIBAND MULTIMISSION RADIO APPLICATIONS HANDBOOK ® 1 AN/PRC-117F(C) Multiband Radio Introduction For missions requiring reliable, interoperable communications, Harris has developed the FALCON® II AN/PRC-117F(C), the most advanced multiband, multimode manpack radio in the world… period. The AN/PRC-117F(C) integrates the capabilities of several distinct radios into one: VHF-LO FM for combat net radio, VHF-HI AM for public safety and ground-to-air, UHF-AM for military ground-to-air and UHF TACSAT communications. This radio also utilizes the latest technology to embed many advanced features, such as SINCGARS, HAVEQUICK, and DAMA, as well as Type-I encryption. With integrated crypto functions, including black-key management and Crypto Ignition Key (CIK), the AN/PRC-117F(C) is a complete communications package allowing interoperability with all military services in secure and non-secure communications. And being a software-defined radio helps make the FALCON II radios future-proof. As new technology and waveforms are developed, you can upgrade your FALCON II systems to be compatible with future radios such as the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) radios…and they will remain compatible with your radios currently in the field. The AN/PRC-117F(C) manpack can be packaged for vehicular, transit case, or base station applications, and we offer a number of accessories and antennas to complete your system. This Applications Handbook defines the AN/PRC-117F(C) radios and their components, and also helps with your selection of antennas and accessories. 2 17 AN/PRC-117F(C) Multiband Radio AN/PRC-117F(C) ■ External PLGR and NMEA-183 GPS device interface ■ Field software upgradeable ■ Over-the-air HPW, SINCGARS, & HQ Time of day (TOD) ■ SATCOM downlink monitor ■ Replaceable Hold Up Battery (HUB) with voltage level reading and low battery warning Feature/Mode Descriptions The AN/PRC117F(C) is an advanced multiband, multimission, manpack radio which provides reliable tactical communica- SINCGARS tions.
